Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I almost did that to myself this morning, so I may have a skewed perspective.

Tim stopped keeping his meds in the same place as the dog's meds when he accidentally took one of Kato's tramadols (true story). Now Tim has all his meds in a day-of-the-week box that has "am" and "pm" sides. And we keep the kitty's gabapentin far away from Tim's meds.

Aw, I keep my meds the same way Tim does. Except it's a month set up, with separate little boxes that fit into a holder. So... not that much alike, really. But, AM and PM!

Matt doesn't use a pill container, because it makes him feel old. It just makes me feel organized. Plus, much less wth the opening and closing of pill bottles.

Yeah, sj, what Jesse said. Hope ltc managed to stay awake, in any case!

I have many Chrisymas tasks to do. I guess I should make a list.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hah. I am on eleven prescriptions, plus an OTC multivitamin supplement. Nineteen pills a day. My pill organizer has twenty-eight compartments -- 7 days each with morning, noon, evening, bedtime.

I highly recommend the Medisafe app. I found it easy to set up, easy to use, and the prompts and reminders keep me on track.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I take two pills a day, both first thing in the morning, and have an alert on my phone to remind me and sometimes I get the alert and look at the pill bottles and think "right, I should take those" and still don't because first I will just, I don't know, put on my shoes or find my keys or whatever and then I leave the house, pills untaken. Things that are easy can still, somehow, be very hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was about to despair about the number of emails I have to deal with vs. my interest in dealing with anything else this week, but I just scanned them, and there aren't so many after all! And most of what is there can wait! Huzzah.

Our wings are not tired.

I have the basic AM/PM variety of pill holder. And I use my calendar reminders because I use calendar reminders for everything in life.

Aww, I hope ltc stayed alert. Not a bad mom!

OMG, maybe I really should just log off. I'm sitting here laughing hysterically because I was trying to respond to someone's "have a good weekend" email, and I typed, "Thanks, and you!!!!!"

(I did catch it and add the "too" before sending.)

I mean... that could have been OK... sort of an old-fashioned, "And you, my friend!" vibe to it.

Maybe with fewer exclamation points. That just looks unhinged.

Exclamation points, so tricky!
